About Vitality Medical Wellness Institute

What is Vitality Medical Wellness Institute?

Vitality Medical Wellness Institute is a primary care and health optimization practice at 9350 Benfield Rd Suite 110, Charlotte, NC 28269. The phone number is (704) 765-9817. Dr. Galvin, who is board certified in Emergency Medicine, is the only prescriber named. No other credential is given for him, so none is shown here. The practice says it has worked with clients for over 15 years. Google shows a 4.7 rating from 62 reviews.

Vitality offers three services. Precision Longevity Blueprint is a personalized program that uses advanced diagnostics to work on energy, focus and vitality. Vitality Care provides limited urgent care and acute medical services on a space-available basis, and it is open only to existing patients and their family members. A la Carte Services is named, but the practice gives no details about it. For weight, Vitality says it may use GLP-1 medicines, peptides or hormone support where appropriate, and it names semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Zepbound, Mounjaro). Hormone care includes testosterone replacement by gel, injection or alternative treatment. No separate peptide program is described. In its own words: "For other patients enrolled in specific programs, care is limited to the details of the program." Office hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 8:00 to 5:00, and Wednesday from 10:00 to 7:00.

What does it cost?

Vitality does not publish prices for weight loss, hormone therapy, peptides or longevity care. No consultation fee is stated, and no membership or concierge fee is published. It does not say whether it accepts insurance, whether medication is included in any program, or whether telehealth is offered. Ask for every number in writing before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether Dr. Galvin signs each prescription himself. If you are considering a GLP-1 medicine, ask whether it is brand-name or compounded. Ask whether the monthly fee includes the medicine, and if it does not, what the pharmacy charges and who pays it. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether any visit can be done by telehealth. Ask whether the practice accepts insurance at all, and whether an HSA can be used.

If you are not already a concierge patient, ask whether you could qualify for Vitality Care, since it is limited to existing patients and their family members. If peptides interest you, ask whether they come with their own program and price. Finally, ask how membership is cancelled and whether any unused fee is refunded.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want one ongoing physician relationship in Charlotte that covers primary care along with weight, hormone and longevity work, and you are ready to commit before the full cost is clear. It may not suit you if you need only one prescription or one lab panel, since the fullest care described is for concierge patients.
